concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty
in deed and word before God and all the people;
024:020 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up
to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
024:021 But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel.
Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since
these things happened.
024:022 Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived
early at the tomb;
024:023 and when they didn't find his body, they came saying that they
had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
024:024 Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women
had said, but they didn't see him."
024:025 He said to them, "Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe
in all that the prophets have spoken!
024:026 Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter
into his glory?"
024:027 Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained
to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
024:028 They drew near to the village, where they were going,
and he acted like he would go further.
024:029 They urged him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is almost evening,
and the day is almost over." He went in to stay with them.
024:030 It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them,
he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.
024:031 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished
out of their sight.
024:032 They said one to another, "Weren't our hearts burning within us,
while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened
the Scriptures to us?"
024:033 They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found

024:035 They related the things that happened along the way, and how
he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
024:036 As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them,
and said to them, "Peace be to you."
024:037 But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed
that they had seen a spirit.
024:038 He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise
in your hearts?
024:039 See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me.
Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones,
as you see that I have."
024:040 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
024:041 While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered,
he said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
024:042 They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
